FAQ
Got questions? We've got answers. And if we don't, hit us up at licensing@streambeats.com.
General
Is StreamBeats really free?
Yes. 100% free. No subscriptions, no credit codes, no watermarks, no account required. The music is free to use in your streams, videos, and podcasts forever.
How does StreamBeats make money?
When you listen to StreamBeats on Spotify, Apple Music, YouTube Music, or other platforms, those plays generate streaming royalties for Senpai Records. When thousands of creators use the same music, the aggregate streams add up. You get free music, we earn from the platforms. Win-win.
Do I need to create an account?
Nope. No account, no login, no email required. Just browse, find what you like, and listen on your favorite platform.
How many tracks are there?
Over 1,500 tracks across 15+ genres, from lofi and synthwave to EDM, hip-hop, ambient, and more. New albums drop periodically.

What about Facebook, Instagram, and TikTok?
We're actively working to make StreamBeats safe across all platforms, including Meta Rights Manager (Facebook/Instagram) and TikTok MediaMatch. If you run into any issues on these platforms, let us know so we can resolve it.
Downloads
How do I download StreamBeats tracks?
Download the tracks for free from Bandcamp (click "buy" and then type $0 👍🏼). You can choose to download small MP3 files or Bandcamp also offers WAV and FLAC if you need higher quality.
What formats are available?
MP3, WAV, and FLAC are available through Bandcamp. For most streaming and video use cases, MP3 is perfectly fine.
Bandcamp says it's adding my email to an email list? What's the deal?
We aren't keeping an email list. That's a default Bandcamp statement we can't remove (I tried). But there's no data harvesting here at StreamBeats.
Licensing
Do I need to give credit or attribution?
No. Attribution is appreciated but never required. The license is clear on this.
Can I use StreamBeats in my game / movie / TV show?
Games, movies, and TV shows require a separate commercial license. Email licensing@streambeats.com for details.
Where can I read the full license?
The complete Synchronization and Master Use License is on our Licensing page.
Troubleshooting
I got a copyright claim on my video. What do I do?
Fill out the false claim reporting form with your video URL and the track name. The Senpai Records team will clear it.
My Twitch VOD was muted. Is StreamBeats actually safe?
We actively work to keep StreamBeats safe on Twitch via Audible Magic, but no system is perfect. If a VOD gets muted, report it and we'll work to get it resolved.
